Bill Summary

An act relating to physician certifications for the medical use of marijuana; amending s. 381.986, F.S.; authorizing qualified physicians to perform patient examinations and evaluations through telehealth for renewals of physician certifications for the medical use of marijuana; providing an effective date.

AI Summary

This bill amends Florida's medical marijuana law to authorize qualified physicians to perform patient examinations and evaluations through telehealth for renewals of physician certifications for the medical use of marijuana. Specifically, the bill allows physicians to conduct certification renewals through telehealth, rather than requiring a physical in-person examination, while maintaining the requirement for an in-person physical examination for initial certifications. The bill also requires physicians to evaluate existing qualified patients at least once every 30 weeks before issuing a new certification, and allows this evaluation to be conducted through telehealth.
